If you are involved in a non-injury auto accident, please exchange info w/ the other drivers & report the accident at one of our District locations when able.
The emergency warning system alerts drivers and residents that bad weather could make it unsafe to travel.
A level one, or yellow travel advisory as it is called in Indiana, usually means parked cars must be moved off of public streets to allow plows to clear and treat the roads. Many cities will ticket or tow parked cars that aren't moved from public roads. In Indiana, a yellow travel advisory also means individuals should use caution or only travel when needed.
A level two, or an orange travel advisory in Indiana, means people should stay home if they can and drive only if absolutely necessary.
Level three, or a red travel advisory in Indiana, means all roads in that area are closed to non-emergency personnel. Drivers out for non-emergency reasons could be arrested or cited.
Cities typically issue snow emergencies themselves in addition to counties, based on the specific needs of the neighborhoods in those areas.
